Winter weather is cold and dry, we always feel dry and tight skin, not as smooth and soft as before, dry skin is not only easy to make people feel all kinds of discomfort, sometimes there will be itchy feeling, and in serious cases the skin will even have dry and cracked phenomenon, so what is the cause of dry skin in winter?
The weather is too cold and dry
When the weather is too cold and dry, in order to reduce energy consumption, the body's metabolism is also reduced, the pores are tightly closed, and the excretion of sweat sebaceous glands is reduced. And with the reduction of these secretions, excretions, the oil on the surface of the skin also followed by a reduction in human sebum and sweat secretion rapidly reduced, the moisture of the skin gradually evaporated, the surface of the skin will become more rough, resistance will also be weakened, do not pay attention to the timely maintenance of the skin, slowly the skin becomes more dry and tight.
Bathing water temperature is too hot
Winter weather is cold, always feel a hot bath body can be warmer, there is often a time to ignore the skin problems, too high water temperature is easy to destroy the skin surface oil, resulting in capillary dilation, the result of the bath is not only not to the skin hydration, but also intensify the degree of dry skin.
The number of baths is too frequent
Winter people sweat less, coupled with dry air, the body automatically shed the scale is not much, the number of baths too often, the skin surface secretion of oil and normal parasitic in the skin surface protective flora will be washed away, resulting in skin stratum corneum injury, skin resistance is weakened, moisture is more likely to evaporate, thus causing dry itchy phenomenon.
Improper use of emollients
The use of the right amount of emollients in winter can effectively prevent dryness and nourish the skin, but the use of emollients is also delicate, emollient lotion should be applied immediately in the case of damp skin, so that the moisture can better stay on the skin and play a nourishing role, if the skin is dry and then rub lotion, it will not play a nourishing role, and to choose the right type of emollients according to their skin type, dry The best use of neutral emollients without fragrance for people with skin.
Use soap to cleanse your skin
Many people like to use soap when washing their hands or bathing, in fact, soap will affect the pH balance of the skin, use too much, easy to wash off the skin itself for the protection of the protective film, but easily aggravate the burden on the skin, and will quickly go out of the skin on the protective oils, stimulating the skin, leading to dry skin, itching, and even cause other skin problems.
Bad living and eating habits
Once people do not have enough sleep, the body blood circulation will become poor, the health of the organism is out of balance, the skin will also become inactive, prone to dry and rough phenomenon, coupled with the fact that some people now like to diet or partial diet in order to lose weight, resulting in unbalanced absorption of nutrients in the body, the skin can not absorb sufficient nutrients, it will lose elasticity and moisture, thus becoming dry and fragile; usually do not love to drink water, is also the cause of The skin becomes dry is also a common reason.
Vitamin A deficiency
The lack of vitamin A can easily lead to a decrease in the resistance of the skin and skin mucosa, and the mucus and sebum secreted on the skin surface are relatively reduced, which makes the skin become drier.
Long-term companionship with spicy and dry foods
Long-term consumption of spicy, dry food, more likely to cause the body moisture loss, the skin is already dry, and then eat spicy food, skin blood circulation accelerated, it is easier to sweat, resulting in moisture loss, and peanuts and other dry food is no moisture, into the body will also absorb part of the water, thus causing dry skin.
